So, GAMECOCK is not a problem?


Jun 16, 2020, 1:21 PM

It either came from

1) General Thomas Sumter, "The Carolina Gamecock", who used slaves as a recruiting incentive for soldiers during the American Revolution:

or 2) a brutal sport that is a felony in South Carolina

Maybe they folks think being associated with the coots is punishment enough. I mean, being tossed down a condemned outhouse cesspit is better than going to the University of South Carolina because you can atleast crawl out of the pit.

Re: So, GAMECOCK is not a problem? The problem w USC coots

to me is them using the state flag. I think winner of the football game gets use of the SC flag till the next meeting. Kind of like how a bank in Anderson used to top their weather vane w the mascot of the winning school for the next year. No sticker on helmet or use of the flag for the loser.

I think it's cute...

when uof6c fans and alums refer to their third rate school as the flagship university in the state.

In reality, it's largely a fallback option for kids who can't get into Clemson, Furman, Wofford, Winthrop, Lander, Erskine, Francis Marion, and a whole host of other schools around the state.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

That school was originally called the "Fighting Gamecocks", but is now only called the "Gamecocks ". Guess they had to drop the fighting part since they don't have any fight in them.

Anyways, they are irrelevant.
